Here are your Premier League transfer rumours for Wednesday, May 20th.

Liverpool must sell three players to fund Werner move

According to The Athletic, Liverpool are unlikely to sign RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner this summer due to the financial implications of COVID-19.

Werner has a €60 million release clause this summer, but with Liverpool facing massive financial repercussions from the suspension of play, any major signings are extremely improbable.

The report highlights that Xherdan Shaqiri, Harry Wilson and Marko Grujic, the latter pair on loan at Bournemouth and Hertha Berlin respectively, could be offloaded in an attempt to raise funds. Liverpool were looking for €30 million for Shaqiri and £40 million for Wilson and Grujic combined.

Le10Sport, however, report that Klopp has called Werner several times.

The pair are huge admirers of one another and The Athletic reports that Werner will either move to Liverpool because of his admiration for Klopp, who he called ‘the best coach in the world’, or will remain with Leipzig for another season.

Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United linked with Adama Traore

After a stellar season with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Adama Traore is being linked with a move to several of the top six clubs in the Premier League.

Per Le10Sport, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are all interested in signing the electric winger. Bayern Munich were also named as potential suitors.

Traore has four goals and seven assists and still has three years remaining on his contract with Wolves.

Man United eye Ligue 1 top scorer

Amid their continued search for a centre forward, Manchester United have turned their attention to Monaco centre-forward, Wissam Ben Yedder, the joint-top scorer in Ligue 1 last season alongside Kylian Mbappe.

Per ESPN FC, United are monitoring the Ben Yedder situation closely as Monaco face financial difficulty and could be forced to offload several players as a result.

Ben Yedder, who will turn 30 in August, signed for Monaco last summer in a €30 million deal.

After enjoying an encouraging season on loan at Roma, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be offered in a swap deal for young attacker, Justin Kluivert, son of legendary centre-forward, Patrick Kluivert.

Mkhitaryan has made it clear that he would like to remain in Rome when his loan deal comes to an end. “Since the first day when I arrived in Rome, I really liked it here, I got on well with the team. Everything was fantastic. Of course, it would be nice to stay here,” he said to Italian media via Bild.

Per Corriere dello Sport via TeamTalk, Arsenal are willing to offload Mkhitaryan but only for the right price. They view him as a potential swap candidate for Kluivert, who Roma signed in 2018.

The report claims that Arsenal would pay £13 million plus Mkhitaryan in the deal.
